Malta’s stunning capital city has quickly become the place for luxury stays in Malta, and a boutique hotel offering a stylish retreat just a stone’s throw away from the magnificent St John’s Co-Cathedral makes for an incredible option.

The Cumberland Boutique Hotel places you right in the middle of the action in Valletta, while allowing you to retreat to your own private oasis surrounded by luxury and beauty – it’s what staying in the capital should be about. Indeed, the hidden gem in the “city built by gentlemen for gentlemen” offers an ideal base for a city break, whether you’re a local in love with the beauty of Valletta or you’re discovering the capital for the first time. 

Housed within a majestic, late 16th-century palazzo that overlooks the splendid Grand Harbour, Cumberland Hotel has been tastefully renovated with the discerning guest in mind. Timeless elegance meets contemporary class and comfort, with world-class amenities that are mindful of the heritage the building is steeped in.

Guests are hosted in exquisite accommodation, some with stunning views of the World Heritage city, others with a picturesque view of the courtyard. Suites are equipped with every little luxury and finished off in a modern art deco style. The carefully curated minimalist look is complemented by vintage art pieces. 

Meanwhile, a rooftop whirlpool and sunbathing area add a unique touch to an already gorgeous boutique hotel.

Guests can expect efficient and friendly service from a highly-trained team of professionals who aim to add an extra special touch to your stay, while a cold buffet and warm a’ la carte breakfast are sure to help you start the day on the best note! After all, with all the major historical landmarks and hotspots within easy reach, it’s guaranteed to be a memorable one.
